@kylascan: How to get rich in America #economics

Kyle Mann :

There shouldn’t be a capital gains tax bracket. Income is income, tax it all at the same rate.

chadhockenbary :

Trickle-down economics isn't working?

Travis Murad Leland :

You are, legit, one of my favorite social media humans. Thank you for what you do.

odiram :

The perfect recipe for a rentier black hole

Sean Goldstein :

I recommend inheriting wealth

imcomingtokillyall :

We’re done with capitalism.

Taylor Closen :

Im a millennial, I’ve made money in the market, but it’s completely ridiculous what are economy has become. You have to literally pay to play in this world… the financially uneducated are unfortunately taken advantage of

Rori :

I don’t know about this, I think the 1% making money from capital gains shouldn’t be interpreted as that’s how they made their money, it should be analyzed that the rich is just passing down their assets, so the 1% didn’t make that money they inherited it. So mobility into that class isn’t realistic through making money

Tall Erthanu :

So Piketty was right? r > g

Lou :

You are very wise for your age 👍. I am over 55 😢 but was luck to take advantage of the situation back then.Now I taught my kids two girls that they need to leverage assets will be the only way to be successful

Daily Vibe :

We are being robbed. We are tired of this.

Birb. 🦜 :

pmbaird_pictures :

Stavbremze :

How much more fixed capital is now in the economy, proportionally?

LazyRus :

i mean we should be clear about this, republicans overwhelmingly vote for economical policies that give the rich tax cuts but they’re still being voted in society will continue to suffer

Tony D :

every percent implies a 2nd per something.

Aaron Klinger :

There’s a reason they call it capitalism not laborism

Nicholas (Sedgewick) Thompson :

That’s crazy yeah ugh don’t decrease capital gains tax wow I hope it can be increased particularly for short term holdings🤞

Flerburgler :

I can haz assets?

joezinsf :

When you lower taxes on dividends (thanks Bush) the investor class gets those profits

do.not.reply :

gambling. its called gambling. the economy is casino capitalism

TheWonkyDonkey :

For high-net-worth individuals, we should tax *change* in net-worth. Maybe limit it to 10% of unrealized gains for non-liquid assets, like real estate, but tax an additional 10% every year so it’s totally taxes over 7 years.

MagentaCanyon :

Most folks who have assets were given to them. Do the asset math on who is acquiring assets via their labor vs their parents.
